The most commonly repeated story behind the post-Thanksgiving shopping-related Black Friday tradition links it to retailers. As the story goes, after an entire year of operating at a loss (“in the red”) stores would supposedly earn a profit (“went into the black”) on the day after Thanksgiving, because holiday shoppers blew so much money on discounted merchandise. Though it’s true that retail companies used to record losses in red and profits in black when doing their accounting, this version of Black Friday’s origin is the officially sanctioned—but inaccurate—story behind the tradition.

Question: In order to reach fundamental convictions that he can call his own, Descartes decides to sweep aside all the opinions he had learned “at school.” However he is careful to distinguish his position from that of the skeptics. What is the distinction he makes?

Answer:

Descartes is untroubled by the fact that, as he has described them, mind and matter are very different: One is spatial and the other not, and therefore one cannot act upon the other. ... It is the nature of bodies to be in space, and the nature of minds not to be in space, Descartes claims.
